South of

Lower on the grid than the referenced person or object.

Spatial & Direction

Explanation

South of means strictly below on the grid — the suspect must be in a row with a higher number than the reference. It does not require being in the same column or region.

Example

If a clue says 'Anna is south of the bookshelf,' Anna must be placed in a row below the bookshelf's row. The column does not matter unless further restricted.

Common Mistake

Players sometimes treat south of as requiring the same column (directly below). That is incorrect — any cell in a lower row qualifies.
